【Course Objectives】

Data is being continuously generated in large quantities to the point that the term “big data” is gradually permeating the vocabulary of general society. As a result of this, general societal interest in statistics has risen, and the need for people who can make decisions after interpreting data has increased. Nevertheless, there is still a distinct shortage of individuals capable practically applying data.
Applied uses of statistics exist in a wide variety of fields, not just disciplines related to the life sciences.
In this course, students will learn fundamental statistics concepts commonly used in experiments and investigations. Depending on one’s goals, one must be able to correctly collect data and select and appropriate method for analyzing it. They will learn frequently used statistical methods and fundamental knowledge while acquiring practical analysis abilities.

【Course Contents】

The lecture will begin with basic statistics, whereupon students will come to understand data trends and scatter plots. The course will also outline various research methods encountered in statistics, including survey methods, experimental methods, and observation research. For example, students will learn methods for dealing with situations where there are two variables, like height and weight. Descriptive statistics methods will be covered in the first half of the course. From then on, the course will cover inferential statistics methods, in which one infers things about the nature of the whole after seeing a small part of it. First, students will be introduced to the basics of inferential statistics: random variables and the relationship between populations and samples. Students will then learn the important concept of sampling distribution. Next, students will learn about a critical part of inferential statistics: estimations. Particular focus will be placed on interval estimations. Following this, the idea of a hypothesis test will be introduced. The lecture will proceed with the aim of enabling students to learn how to conduct various types of hypothesis testing, such as analysis of variance.
